On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church

by Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Translated by Robert Scarlett Grignon (1822-1885)

Early in the course of the Reformation (1520) Martin Luther penned a trilogy of foundational documents addressing the German Nobility, the Church and the Christian. "On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church" appeared second. In it, Luther sifts the wheat from the chaff as regards the seven sacraments of the Roman Church. (Summary by Jonathan Lange)
